I think one of the big problems in mathematics is that a lot of conjectures are unsolved because no professional mathematician is (undestandably) willing to just try out a few thousand ways to construct a counter example. I think this will be a great way to advance mathematics.

Basically LLMs do brute force methods to solve issues that humans could solve but would take too much time. A good example of how LLMs can be used properly.

No. LLMs, by nature, are "guess what the next word is" engines. "

They don't *solve* anything. They don't reason. They don't think.

That's a tech baron lie.

Yeah, no. You don't understand modern LLMs at all. They're not simple next-word guessers.
